How to Make Individual Chocolate Espresso Souffles

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spray eight 6-ounce custard cups with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar evenly into each cup.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup water, and 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder until completely smooth.
  5. In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat.
  6. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until a smooth paste forms.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1 cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  8. Cook, whisking frequently, for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in the cocoa mixture until smooth.
  10. In a clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  11. Gradually add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  12. Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
  13. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined.
  14. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared custard cups, filling them almost to the top.
  15. Place the cups on a baking sheet.
  16. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out moist but not wet.
  17. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
